the total dollars in katrina were the subject of about six separate appropriations. so as time went on, they found more and more damage, which is normally the way these things tend to unfold. we did the best we could to come up with a snapshot of the damage now. >> and that snapshot has some comparisons that show more power outages, more homes destroyed, and a whole lot more mess here in new york compared to what was in louisiana and obviously maybe, ed, you talk about this. there's a bit of campaigning that goes on. you want to make the best case for your town, for your city, for your state. and washington either provides or it doesn't. how much is borne locally and -- that's a subject to negotiations. >> what is that number? in the 42 billion that cuomo is talking about? >> i think he's talking about 9 in new york and another huge number for 42 for the state. it's unclear. >> i want to know how much of that is -- that seems like a big number. >> it's a big number. >> i thought about connecticut. connecticut was -- >> how do i respond to you without dissing louisian

because back to katrina for example. that was $75 billion of insured losses. which meant that the economic losses were over $100 billion. so usual talking a very big deal here. companies start to assess how much the business was disrupted. accessibility to their business. the ability of their employees to come to work. you don't start to see contamination issues and environmental issues until later on. but it's unfortunate to say and you asked me a very valid question, it's unfortunate to say that i think this number could be very big. >> the other question is who pays for all of this because the flooding, a lot of this will go to the national flood insurance program. but at some point, who ends up picking up the tab. >> i think mostly the insurance companies, becky. there's three sources of ways to fund catastrophes. you have the national flood insurance program as you mentioned, but that's under fema. fema stands for federal emergency management agency. and that's basically a response mechanism and i think they're doing a great job of responding, but it's no

first i want to look at sandy and katrina. because we were lucky, i made this chart before we went on. and turns out the estimate was exactly right. if you have that graphic, i don't know if you have that graphic. let's see if you have that graphic. i'm holding here for five, four, maybe not. what it shows is that there it is, that's katrina in the blue, and that's sandy in the green. you can see the pop there and it's come down. so another week of elevated jobless claims would be normal here. continuing claims too early, that's a week behind to show up here. so we're right in the range of where you would expect to be if sandy was an event along the lines of katrina. next thing is this sentiment number. you had courtney on talking about holiday christmas sales. i want to do a pre-christmas consumer check-up on their finances. i don't know if you remember. maybe you don't, unemployment a year ago, what was the number? >> a year ago we were -- >> like a point higher. >> 9%, .1%. most of the metrics you might care about appear to

here is the katrina effect that bump right there, goes up and comes back down. so hopefully this is not an effect like katrina but if it is in general we'll see if the market looks to it. i was interested in jason trennert's comments earlier that he sees a recession coming and we have to parse that because we can go up to 500,000. i don't buy it but i'd like to talk with jason. jason is a smart guy. >> jobless claims bungy like the fiscal cliff bungy, go back down and then up? >>> let's get to rick santelli who flew out before the storm from new york to chicago. rick, you got the numbers. >> yes, september trade balance of course is a deficit, but it is a smaller deficit. 41.5 billion. this comes from a lower, smaller deficit on the recession from last time august moved from 44.2 to 43.8. 41.5 is the smallest the deficit has been actually for a while. it looks to me you're going back towards december of 2010. claims actually moved lower to 355,000 from an unrevised 363,000, so we'll call it down 8,000, and continuing claims also popped a bit lower from a 3.26 to

sandy, a couple weeks ago or three weeks eeg y ago you were talking about sandy being twice the size of katrina but the wind speeds weren't as much and it wasn't going to affect all state. did you see christie and cuomo? are those real numbers? is that what they'd like to see from the feds or is it worse than what you thought on november 1st? itz's worse than what we thought out. it will cost us 1 billion 75 doll lars. it is a significant event. it's significant flooding. that's not typically konked by us but by the government if you buy their policy. unfortunately very few people buy coverage. so unfort flatly there's a bunch of people whose homes got wrecked and that's what cuomo and christie are seeking. our government has a hit of going back to the state and saying, sorry you didn't buy insurance, here's some money and they'll do it again. they're trying to negotiate as to how much they get. >> allstate's ceo tom wilson. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. >>> when we return, we'll have gene ludwig. he will be our special guest. also at the bottom of the hour, we'll talk oil, gold, and m
